Fall Baking: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I absolutely love pumpkin. I love it so much, I labeled myself a pumpkin-holic. I add it to everything—from breakfast to dessert—and it's one of my favorite (ok, the favorite) fall food. With that said, here's a healthy treat that is seriously indulgent without all of the calories and fat of a typical chocolate chip cookie. In this recipe, sugar and butter are replaced with more nutritious canned pumpkin and date puree, and mini chocolate chips replace regular-sized chocolate chips to add even more tiny bits of sweetness throughout the cookie without added calories. Enjoy this guilt-free seasonal treat with friends and family!
